"Boy, go and shake hands with Sir Harry Vyell." Taffy did as he was bidden. "This is my son George," said Sir Harry; and Taffy shook hands with him, too, and liked his face. "Put the bag away, Harry," said the Squire. "Just to comfort 'ee, now!" "I tell 'ee I won't look at en." Sir Harry untied the neck of the bag, and drew out a smaller one; untied this, and out strutted a game-cock.
Without you I must have failed; but this was never your work. For myself, I have learnt my lessons; but, please God, you shall be my Solomon and be granted a temple to build." Taffy had lost his shyness now. He laid a hand on his father's sleeve. "We will go on then." "Yes, we will go on." "And Jacky? Where has he been? I haven't seen him since the Squire died." Mr.
The collie was waiting for a lump of sugar, and his master had just taken one from the pocket of his sack coat when the young ladies recognized him. "Really, Mr. Glover, your tastes are domestic," declared Marie; "you make excellent taffy now I find you feeding a collie." She pointed to the lump of sugar. "And how is your hand?"
Taffy felt the sudden weight and pulled and while he pulled felt in a moment no grip, no weight at all. Between two hateful screams a face slid by him, out of reach, silent, with parted lips; and as it slipped away he fell back staggering, grasping the useless, headless crutch. The mare went on screaming.
But if anybody fights you, let him never forget the day he done it. Break up every taffy stand in the fair, if you can't find anything better. And if blood is shed, lave the man that orders it to me. And now go up, boys, like men and like Manxmen." There was no cheering, no shouting, no clapping of hands. Only broken exclamations and a sort of confused murmur.
It was a raw December afternoon within a week of the end of term and Taffy had returned from skating in Christ Church meadow, when he found a telegram lying on his table. There was just time to see the Dean, to pack, and to snatch a meal in hall, before rattling off to his train. At Didcot he had the best part of an hour to wait for the night-mail westward. "Your father dangerously ill.
After a minute he gave over the attempt and admitted to himself that, according to his mental map, it could not consistently lie anywhere at all. Even Glory seemed to have lost interest in the quest and stood listlessly with his head down. His attitude irritated Weary very much. "Yuh damn', taffy colored cayuse!" he said fretfully.
"I'll come myself," said the Chief Officer. "Go you back, my dear, and we'll fetch home your cheeld as right as ninepence. Hi, Rawlings, take a couple of men and scatter along the cliffs there to the right. Lame, you say? He can't have gone far." Taffy, with the Chief Officer and a couple of volunteers, moved off to the left, and in less than a minute George caught them up, on horseback.
She closed the door with the softness one uses in closing the door of a death-chamber, in order, I suppose, "not to disturb" me. I pulled myself together, and went on. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie at Canterbury. "Clean it off? What sacrilege! Why, there are persons who would like to buy the whole wall, as Taffy tried to buy the wall on which Little Billee had drawn Trilby's foot," I exclaimed. Mrs.
But I could guess." Early in the morning Miss Salome and Chester started. They were to drive to Montrose, leave their team there and take the boat for Belltown. Chester bade farewell to the porch chamber and the long, white kitchen and the friendly barns with a full heart. When he climbed into the wagon, Clemantiny put a big bagful of taffy into his hands. "Good-by, Chester," she said.
